    I honestly have never even drank a 6 pack if you add all of them all together. I have enough problems being sober.

    175, 6 pack easy. We're not talking about booze right? That's my self medicated allowance just to be able to put my brain down long enough for my body to get some rest. Since we're on this: funny story, I had a friend who went to one of those trial medication places for some extra cash. He answered the questionare honestly and was denied entry to research program because of his 2 night a beer habit, told him he was an alcoholic. Oh well, live and learn. Why do you ask?

    Usually 4 to 6 beers per evening, between 5 and 7 pm. When I was 19 my boss told me never have a drink before noon, and you'll never be an alcoholic. So I make 5:00 my rule. Never a drink after supper. But apparently some people think this indicates an alcohol problem. So I'll quote a line from the movie "Roadhouse" - "Opinions vary."

    My question is--where do you find room to pack in a six pack? I weigh in around 210 and stand a little over six foot so I should have room for storage, no luck one fills the tank

    I know a guy that drinks 30-50 cans(12 oz) of Miller High Life each night, every night. And usually some whiskey, vodka or 'shine as well. He also smokes 2 cartons of Camel wides per week.

    He is 6'2, 250 lbs., 60 years old and he has been doing it for 20 or more years.

    I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

    Sounds like some of you guys have serious alcohol problems. Here is the guide:

    What is a safe level of drinking?

    For most adults, moderate alcohol use--up to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women and older people--causes few if any problems. (One drink equals one 12-ounce bottle of beer or wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.)

    Heavy drinking can actually increase the risk of heart failure, stroke, and high blood pressure, as well as cause many other medical problems, such as liver cirrhosis.

    When I was in college and Keystone Light was $4 a 12 pack. Now that I get hangovers and have responsibilities and don't like cheap beer I can't afford a 6 pack every two months.

    Been sober since Aug. 7th. Next drinking "binge" will be around November 18th.

    When back home, I would drink 2 to 3 beers each night.

    Generally no. IF I am drinking I'll have 6-8 in a night but I only drink maybe one night a week. Usually tuesdays as it is dollar drafts and $.25 wing nite at the local watering hole.

    That's 7000 calories, that guy must have an amazing metabolism, not to mention the fact that you'd have to have one hell of a stretchable stomach to get 5 gallons beer in there.

    For the past 7 years I've been drinking 10-12 beers or half a liter of whiskey a night. I had a good *-kicking by nearly all the members here which really helped me to sort out my priorities. I'm down to a 40 or less a night and never before 8pm. I have to say, things around home are greatly improved. If drinking is something you're proud of, you probably have a problem.

    A six-pack will last me about 6 months. 20 years ago, one wouldn't last but about an hour, but not every day.

    I could drink 10-15 per night, but good beer is expensive and I don't need to do it. I'll go on "binges" - a beer or 3 between work and dinner, then nothing for a few weeks, then drink again for a week or so, then off again. If not beer, then occasionally wild turkey and coke or beam and coke, but only 1 of 'em. 6' 250lbs.

    Yes, it can creep up on you.

    Booze can cloud your thought process. Almost found out the hard way.

    Enjoy the show. Smart money says he'll be dead in 5 years if he keeps on to the end (assuming the heart attack or stroke doesn't kill him). If he does stop he's still shortened his life at least 10 years. Too soon old, too late smart.

    Don't misunderstand. I'm not wishing this on him. But it is what it is.

    Perhaps to him living longer without those habits isn't really "life."

    Yes, I drink too much.

    1-2 drinks a night, some times 3-4 but i try to keep it right there during the week. Weekend I might get indulgent like say 1/2 a 750ml bottle of spirts. My weight is maybe only 135 or 145 I don't step on a scale very often.

    Do I drink six beers a night? Um, no. Can I? Sure, but "6 beers" to some folks is "Six Bud Lights", and to others its "six stouts". If I have five wobbly-pops during dinner at my local place I'm good to go...I could have ten, as I walk to the place in 3 minutes from my door but...being at work at 6 or 7 am after 6-10 beers ain't fun any more
